Read John 4:39-42

Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did." So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. And because of his words many more became believers.

They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."

Reflect

The woman was not able to keep her powerful encounter with Jesus to herself. Her excitement spilled over to the people around her, which in turn served as a catalyst for them to encounter Jesus for themselves.

Respond

Our testimony is an invitation that can open the door for people to take next steps in their faith. Look for an opportunity to share your testimony with someone this week.
